My collaborators, Torsten Enßlin (MPA Graching), Vasiliki Pavlidou (IA-FORTH) and I will receive an ERC Synergy Grant from the European Union. In our project "mw-atlas", we will be constructing the first comprehensive, three-dimensional atlas of all major components of the Milky Way: dust, gas, stars, magnetic fields, cosmic rays, turbulent velocities and gravity. Find more details here.

Earlier this months, we ran an outreach activity with a local school. Find more details here.

In March 2024, we will be meeting at TTK for the GaGaDiCT workshop 2024. Information for participants is here.

Our paper on our reconstruction of the 3D atomic hydrogen density map of the Galaxy has been published by Astronomy & Astrophysics and featured on the title page of the March issue: Twitter link.

As every year, we offer a number of Bachelor's thesis topics this year, see here.

The last couple of weeks we had a large number of visitors: Enrico Peretti (NBI), Gwenhaël de Wasseige (UC Louvain), Giada Peron (APC) and Kohta Murase (PennState and IAS). They all gave wonderful talks and it was great fun chatting about physics in person again after such a long time!

Marco Kuhlen has just succesfully defended his PhD. Congratulations, Dr. Kuhlen!

It has been a great privilge and honnor to act as a rapporteur for this year's International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC). Check out the slides and a recording of my talk here.

This year's International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC) opens tomrrow and there are a number of contributions from our group: Minh's on stochasticity, Marco's on small-scale anisotropies and mine on secondaries from old supernova remnants.
